The Lightless

About the Book

Beneath the ancient streets of York, a discovery of a lifetime is about to become a waking nightmare. When Dr. Sarah Whitmore and her archaeological team breach a prehistoric wall twelve feet thick, they expect to find Roman ruins or Viking gold. Instead, they uncover the Tenebrae: a pale, light-sensitive civilization that has survived in absolute, climate-controlled darkness for thirteen centuries. But the team's arrival brings a lethal gift. For the Tenebrae, the surface world's light is a literal poison that triggers a rabid, cannibalistic light-sickness, transforming an intelligent people into a predatory horde.
